DALLAS — Less than two weeks after a gunman killed eight people and wounded seven more at the Allen Premium Outlets, a gun show scheduled in the city this summer has been called off.
The city of Allen and Premier Gun Shows, the Fort Worth-based company organizing the event, said the Allen Gun Show planned for July 15-16 will not proceed after a mutual agreement. City officials and the company did not elaborate on their agreement or say whether the cancellation was related to the shooting.
The company hosts gun shows in parts of Dallas-Fort Worth as well as Central Texas and the Houston area. One of its biggest events is the Original Fort Worth Gun Show, a two-day event held six times yearly, that draws thousands of attendees, according to its website.
